| Description of the problem | On 03/02/16 - i was driving on george 400 expressway and i slowed down to take an exit and without any warning my vehicle completely lost power; the steering wheel became stiff and the dashboard lights came on. I had to roll to the shoulder and turn my flashers on. I put the vehicle in neutral and it started back up. I was able to drive to a safe location. This also occurred approximately a year ago while i was driving on a freeway (i-285). I took it to the hyundai dealership and they could not find anything explanation as to why it lost power. This concerns me because i drive a lot on the freeway and to be driving 55-70 mph and to lose power for no reason is quite frightening. I love my vehicle, but this is very dangerous. It could easily occur when my daughter, a less experienced driver, is driving the vehicle. Please advise what is the cause of this and how can it be rectified? Note that the first time this occurred, i had a lot less miles on my vehicle. |
